Fang Xing's heart immediately sank when he saw how easily Hui Neng had used his technique to deduce a mystique, turning into nothingness and easily passing through the line of defense that they had set up. Deducing one's own dao technique was something that only an extremely talented person could do. Even Fang Xing himself, with his countless opportunities and encounters, had not even perfected a single Heaven and Earth Millstone. However, this black-robed Buddhist Hui Neng had actually comprehended his own technique and formed his own dao in less than ten minutes since he had his cultivation base?
Why? Such an opponent would make anyone feel hopeless!
Since he embarked on the road of cultivation, a sense of powerlessness that had not appeared for a long time appeared in Fang Xing's heart again.
It was also because Hui Neng easily passed through the line of defense and set foot on the ancient road that Fang Xing and the others did not really fight with the cultivators of the Pure Land. At this time, it was meaningless to fight. If they could not stop Hui Neng, it would be meaningless to kill all the cultivators of the Pure Land. Moreover, the cultivators of the Pure Land were not ordinary. If they really fought with them, it would only be a situation where both sides would suffer. Their chances of winning were not high!
"Don't worry, the little monk has too many opportunities, and he still has a chance to win!"
At this critical juncture, Li Hongyi walked over and consoled in a low voice, "I've already heard about what happened to him. He should have died ten times out of ten, but you've helped him snatch an opportunity and even given him such a huge advantage. You've already done your best …"
"Yes … yes … there is still a chance …"
Fang Xing's lips trembled as he muttered to himself and looked into the ancient temple.
Inside the ancient temple, there were many Buddhist principles and countless passes. At this time, the little monk Shinsyu had broken through 13 passes in a row and was only 300 meters away from the end of the ancient road, while Hui Neng had just walked to the gate of the ancient temple hall …
He did not want to admit defeat, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart!
On this road, Shinsyu had the upper hand. Even if his Dharma was weaker than Hui Neng's, he should have a good chance of winning, right?
"The road to Buddhahood, ten lifetimes of debate …"
At this moment, Hui Neng was standing before the main hall of the ancient temple, and he was looking up as he muttered to himself. He actually didn't seem to be in a hurry to enter.
There seemed to be a hint of doubt on his face, "The ancient temple of Guidance has not appeared for tens of thousands of years and has always been hidden in this broken world of the Demon Abyss. Just what is it for? Could it be that he's waiting for me and Junior Brother Shinsyu? "
"Perhaps, this is the real Ten Lives Debate Mechanism?"
Hui Neng lowered his head and muttered to himself. He turned to look at Fang Xing and said, "Could it be that your disturbance is also fated? It may seem like you've made a mess of things, but in fact, you've become a big hand that's pushing for the true Buddha fruit to descend? This … is the merit that you've received from the Dharma?"
As Hui Neng spoke, he shook his head lightly. With a faint smile, he lifted his foot and stepped into the great hall of the ancient temple.
"If you want peace and quiet, you must be at ease in your heart!"
In front of Hui Neng, the illusion in the void changed and revealed a skeleton monk who was meditating under a withered Bodhi tree. In the depths of his eye sockets, there was a faint ghostly fire. As his jaw moved and closed, he made a sound. This was the first checkpoint on the road to Buddhahood.
"Come, if you wish to enter this hall, answer my question. What is Buddha?"
Hui Neng waved his big sleeves slightly and said indifferently, "Buddha is Buddha. What are you asking? Leave!"
Facing the first checkpoint on the road to Buddhahood, he suddenly shouted and waved his big sleeves to make the skeleton monk retreat.
When he spoke, the Buddha's aura on his body surged like a newborn sun. Endless Buddha's light spread out slowly. Even the strange corpses that surrounded the people in front of the hall were shocked and took a few steps back. The skeleton monk in the illusion was also speechless at this moment. The ghostly fire in his eye sockets stared blankly at Hui Neng. After a while, the illusion dissipated and disappeared.
"How … how is this possible?"
Wang Qiong cried out involuntarily, her face full of disbelief.
She had already heard from Li Ying that they had all tried to pass the checkpoint before. It was very easy for them to pass the first checkpoint, but when Shinsyu passed the checkpoint, he had to debate with the skeleton monk for a long time before he could pass. Li Hongyi analyzed that it was because Shinsyu's Dharma was higher than theirs and touched the true meaning of Dharma in the skeleton monk's heart. That was why the debate took so long. Logically speaking, even if Hui Neng should not have taken longer than Shinsyu, he should have debated for a while. But why did he dispel the illusion with one sentence and was faster than Li Hongyi and the others?
"Does that mean that his Dharma is simply higher than everyone's imagination?"
Li Hongyi muttered to himself. There was a hint of worry in his eyes as he looked at Fang Xing.
At this moment, Fang Xing was also staring at the back of the black-robed Buddha, Hui Neng. His eyes were fierce and vaguely terrifying.
"Come, answer my question. All living beings are born with Buddha nature. Why can't everyone become Buddha?"
In front of Hui Neng, a Bodhisattva in blood-stained white robes sitting on a white lotus appeared and asked softly.
"The people of the world are stupid, ignorant, stubborn, and unable to let go. How can they become Buddha?"
"How should they pass it?"
Hui Neng strode forward and answered, "I seek the Tranquility Fruit. The people of the world learn from me and pass it on their own!"
After passing the second checkpoint, Hui Neng continued to stride forward as if his footsteps had not stopped at all.
Illusions kept appearing in front of him. They were all checkpoints on the path to Buddha. They were all Buddhist mysteries that questioned the Dharma in his heart.
However, unlike Shinsyu, who passed every checkpoint slowly and arduously and debated for a long time, Hui Neng passed at an extremely fast speed. No matter what kind of illusion appeared, the Dharma was broken by him with one sentence. Everywhere he passed, the illusions were all shattered, and he was unobstructed …
Fang Xing's heart sank. The hand that held the saber seemed to be a little weak.
It was only at this moment that he truly felt the height of Hui Neng's Dharma …
As expected of the sweeping monk who had won the favor of Buddha ten thousand years ago, because he had already obtained the supreme Dharma!
All along, Fang Xing had forced Shinsyu to compete with him. However, it was not until this moment that he understood where Shinsyu's pressure was. He was facing an opponent who had mastered the supreme Dharma. The other party's Dao was right, and the Dharma was high. Competing with him was like relying on his persistence to stick to his own Dharma and comprehend his own Dao. What he faced was an ending that he would definitely lose …
However, Fang Xing did not understand …
"If you win, then you win. Why can't it be my junior brother's life?"
"If it's preordained by the heavens, then how did my junior brother Shinsyu offend the heavens?"
He was unwilling. His eyes turned red, his hands trembled, and his murderous intent rose.
However, he was helpless, powerless, and unable to change it!
He had already done too much, but this ending still appeared in front of him!
"Haha, evil creature, you're extremely bold and overestimating yourself. Do you really think that you can change the situation by yourself and stop the Buddha Fruit from descending? What a joke, what a joke, you're just a mantis trying to stop a chariot! Now that the Arhat has embarked on the road to becoming a Buddha, with his attainments in Dharma, it will be a piece of cake for him to pass through this road. When he catches up with the little monk, he will become a true Arhat. When he finishes this road, he will become a Buddha and prosper Buddhism. But you, your efforts have been wasted. Not to mention that no one can save you in the end, you've even taken endless sins for yourself … "
Beiming Xiao and the others saw that Hui Neng had easily embarked on the road to becoming a Buddha, and was moving forward quickly like a hot knife through butter.
However, Fang Xing's heart sank to the bottom!
His palms could not help but tremble. Damn, he had done so much, but in the end, nothing had changed?
"So what if he won?"
Fang Xing shouted and looked at Beiming Xiao fiercely. "I will kill you to vent my anger!"
"You …"
Beiming Xiao felt a chill in his heart. After a long time, he shouted angrily, "Having a son like you is a disgrace to my Beiming family. I must clean up the family!"
"Friend, the karma has long been decided. Why are you so stubborn?"
At this moment, the Guardian Monk of Bi An Temple, Buddha Seal, finally spoke. There was no anger in his voice, and even his gaze had calmed down. "You are the Guardian Vajra of Buddhism. This Buddhahood is real, and no one can deny it. Even if it is different from our Dharma, it is still an internal conflict of Buddhism. Now that the Buddha fruit is about to descend, no one can change the result, so why are you still so obsessed? The Buddha fruit is about to descend, and Buddhism is about to prosper. We need people. With your talent, if you join our Buddhism, you might be able to attain the Bodhi Buddha fruit … "
These words shocked Zhu Xiu and even a bunch of Fang Xing's friends.
It seemed like the two were already at loggerheads, but this Buddha Seal actually revealed his intention to recruit him.
But thinking about it, if Buddhism were to prosper, they would indeed need manpower, and no one could ignore Fang Xing's ability.
Moreover, the Buddha Seal's words were sincere, but faintly, there was the magnanimity and tolerance of a victor …
As for Fang Xing, it was precisely this feeling that was the most difficult to bear. He looked coldly at the Buddha seal and said, "Damn monk, if my Junior Brother Shinsyu dies, the only thing I'll have to do with your Buddhist sect is to kill you all …"
"Do you really want to become a demon and become an enemy of Buddhism?"
The Buddhist seal was also enraged, and he shouted angrily, as if he was exasperated at Xiao Chen for failing to meet his expectations.
"Not necessarily, because I haven't admitted defeat yet!"
Fang Xing glared at the Buddha Seal with a sinister gaze, and his voice sounded in a low voice. "The one inside is my Junior Brother, the fourth leader of my robbery. I have him under my protection. As long as I haven't admitted defeat, how could he lose?"
"Haha, stubborn and unrepentant!"
Beiming Xiao scolded in a low voice, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes. Just now, the Buddha Seal said that he wanted to recruit Fang Xing, which really scared him. In the North Deep, he did not want to have a disciple who was stronger than him, more famous than him, more meritorious than him, and who had become a Guardian Vajra of Buddhism earlier than him. That would be a fatal threat to his status as the Son of God, and he had to guard against it!
At this time, Fang Xing turned a deaf ear to his sarcasm. His expression was solemn, and he looked around fiercely, as if he was making a difficult decision. Later, he looked at the road to Buddhahood, and saw the black-robed Buddha, Hui Neng, who was rapidly closing the distance between him and Shinsyu. He finally made a decision, and turned to look at his friends.
"You wait here, Jin Liuzi, Sang 'er, follow me …"
He strode toward the west of the ancient temple, his steps firm, his eyes fierce.
The Great Golden Crow and Wu Sang 'er were slightly startled, but immediately followed. Their eyes were puzzled, but they did not say anything.
"What do you mean by destiny? I don't accept it …"
Fang Xing's eyes were about to spit fire, and there was a faint trace of heart-palpitating madness!
"Since you play so hard, then I'll play even harder with you …"
